Inspectorate of the Ombudsman.

Qin Huaidao came in a hurry, organized the palace guards to rush the ointment, I did it once last time, this time I was familiar with the road, and I did it quickly, as for the liquor, I had already made a bamboo tube a few days ago, and let people pack the wine and store it in the supervision house.

was busy, the guard at the door came to report that Princess Yuzhang was here.

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, and asked people to go to the hall first, quickly sorted the last herbs, explained a few words to Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin, and hurriedly came to the hall, and saw a princess's carriage at the door, several guards and palace maids waiting, and hurriedly entered the door, and saw Princess Yuzhang sitting and waiting.

Yu Zhang was wearing a white mink coat, his face was a little solemn, and when he saw Qin Huaidao coming, he quickly got up, and wanted to say something, his face blushed first.

"I've seen the princess." Qin Huaidao saluted.

"Father said you were going to war, and this is for you." Yu Zhang handed over a white mink cloak, blushed and said: "It's a pair with me, it's a pair that has been driven out these days, and the workmanship is not very good, so don't dislike it." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at the other party in surprise, not daring to answer.

"I'll give it to you." Yu Zhang stuffed it in Qin Huaidao's arms, walked out, stopped after two steps, turned around, looked at Qin Huaidao and plucked up the courage to say, "Didn't you say that you want to marry a few more and spread the branches?" Then promise me to come back alive. ”

"This ......"

Qin Huaidao felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if a certain string was fluctuating, and a strange feeling came to his heart, sweet, warm, very warm, very special, and couldn't help blurting out: "Okay, I promise you." ”

"No matter what happens, remember that there is someone waiting for you in Chang'an City." After Yu Zhang finished speaking, he blushed and hurried away, fifteen or sixty girls, it is very rare to be able to muster up the courage to say this.

Qin Huaidao chased out of the door, watching Yu Zhang hurriedly get into the carriage and slowly go, he couldn't help laughing, with a certain satisfaction, a different kind of emotion, never before.

The mink cloak was soft, just like Yu Zhang's gentle advice just now.

Draped on the body, warm, cotton, very warm, smell it, there is a girl's fragrance on it.

"Am I tempted?"

Qin Huaidao was a little nervous, a little worried, inexplicable, and a little expectant.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Cheng Chumo hurriedly came in, was a little surprised to see the mink cloak, and thought that it was Princess Yuzhang who came just now, and asked with a shocked face: "Is this ......?"

"Tell me something, what are you looking for me to do?"

"Ah...... Oh yes, it's pretty much there, you see? Cheng Chumo hurriedly said.

"Let's load the car."

"Whoa!"

Cheng Chumo hurriedly went, glanced at the mink cloak before leaving, and smiled.

Qin Huaidao stroked the mink cloak, thinking that the battlefield was cold and snowy, a piece of white, it was appropriate to wear this, it was very hidden, and suddenly thought that it was not better for everyone to wear one, even if it was a fast white cloth, it was not easy to expose their whereabouts, which was conducive to battle.

Secretly wrote down this matter, came to the place of the pharmaceutical ointment, saw that everyone was loading the car, waited for a while, saw Luo Zhang coming, and asked in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with the guards following the escort, right?" ”

"It's okay for the time being, but it's hard to say after a long time, after all, it's not their responsibility."

Qin Huaidao was also worried about this, so Liu Da asked a few brigade commanders to advise: "After a while, if the adults have something to leave, the Supervision Mansion will rely on you to keep an eye on it, and restrain the guards below not to cause trouble, in addition, the palace guards who are responsible for escorting the carriage will wait for the Lord Ben to come back, and each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver." ”

"Master Xie." As soon as everyone heard that there was a reward, they all acted.

Although you have to work for nothing, isn't it more motivating to give silver?

Qin Huaidao advised: "Everyone takes turns, but the Supervision Mansion must keep a hundred guards every day, no accidents, no trouble, no grievances, wait for Lord Ben to come back and help you find it, I can't be angry, you can find Lu Guogong and Wu Guogong to administer justice, understand?" ”

"Whoa!" Everyone hastened to agree.

After a few more words, seeing that the carriage was loaded, he asked the guards to help pull the carriage, and the group went in the direction of the palace, and halfway through, the chamberlain Wang De hurriedly came and told him to go directly to the Forbidden Garden, and the saint was waiting there.

The convoy was rerouted, and came to the forbidden garden in half an hour, Wei Chi Baoqi was waiting at the door, signaling to be released directly, and the party came to the school field, many people ran over to help unload the goods, Qin Huaidao saw Li Er with Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Xu Shiji and others coming over, and hurriedly greeted him: "Weichen, I have seen the saint, I have seen a few adults." ”

"Excuse me, those are the liquor and ointments you said?" Li Er looked at the unloaded goods.

"A lot of silver has been wasted, and the saint has to help me write off the debt." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"If you win, you'll be doubled, and don't think about losing a word." Li Er also smiled, stepped forward, took a bamboo tube, opened the plug on it and smelled it, very satisfied.

Cheng Yanjin stepped forward to pick one up, opened the stopper and poured it into his mouth, Qin Huaidao hurriedly snatched it over, and said, "You can't drink like this, it's too urgent, you'll get drunk." ”

It's a pity that it's still late, and it was drunk about half a catty, which is about 60 degrees of liquor.

"I've heard the praise of the saint for a long time, but I haven't had a chance, good wine...... Don't worry, the old man drinks that is this. Cheng Biting Jin gave a thumbs up, a wine burp came up, and then, a hot air flow rushed straight to the top of his head, and when the cold wind blew, Cheng Biting Jin felt dizzy and his head was swollen, and he couldn't stand steadily.

"Poof!" Bang.

Cheng Yanjin fell to the ground straight, snoring like thunder, and the smell of wine hit his face.

"This killer, are you okay?" Li Er scolded and looked at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao could see that Li Er really cared about Cheng Biting Jin, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm too anxious to drink, it's estimated that I'm on an empty stomach, this is drunk, hurry up and find a place to rest, so as not to suffer from the cold, just wake up." ”

"Come on, take them down and rest." Li Er hurriedly shouted.

Everyone gathered around, looking at the wine in the bamboo tube one by one, curious, Xu Shiji sniffed hard, and said: "It's so strong wine, the wind can't blow away, it's really not simple, what kind of wine is this?" ”

Qin Huaidao hadn't come up with a name yet, and was just about to say it, when he saw Li Er looking over, his eyes were eager, and he immediately reacted that this guy had tasted the sweetness, so he had to change his words and said: "Otherwise, it will be called Zhenguan drunk, and please ask the Holy Lord for permission." ”

"Zhenguan drunk, drunk Zhenguan, this name is good." Xu Shiji exclaimed.

Everyone also seconded the proposal, who would dare to oppose this name?

Li Er laughed, seeing that Qin Huaidao was more and more satisfied, this son-in-law, confidant, took the process and said with the leftover King Kong: "Don't think about these wines, it is something that Huaidao used to wash the wounds and save lives of the soldiers, this tube has been drunk, can you give everyone a taste?" Is it enough? ”

"I've got a little bit more to prepare, okay." What else can Qin Huaidao say.

"That's good, this is Zhuangxing wine, bring some bowls." Li Er shouted with satisfaction.

Soon, someone brought a bowl, Li Er signaled to distribute it to several ministers, no one poured a little, Qin Huaidao looked at more than one or two, it was estimated that he would be drunk, and hurriedly reminded: "Holy Lord, ministers, drink in small sips, don't worry, everyone has never drunk this kind of high-grade liquor, and I am afraid that I will not be suitable for drinking it in a hurry." ”

"That's right, it's not allowed to learn to bite Jin Na to kill talents, and it will be a shame to fall." Li Er also shouted, remembering that bowl and Li Jing had a candle night talk, but he slept until the afternoon of the next day, and he didn't participate in the morning dynasty, almost causing a mess, and he had palpitations, but that bowl was really enjoyable, and he missed it very much.

"Huaidao, I am waiting for your good news in Chang'an, come, Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Several ministers shouted too, their eyes eager.

Qin Huaidao was inexplicably a little excited, as if he had returned to the mobilization in front of the station back then, and the chief also gave everyone a grand ride, full of emotion, raised his hand and took a sip of the bowl, the familiar pungency was like fire, burning his throat, and his whole body was like a fire, warm, and the cold was gone.

"Hah!"

It spews out in one breath and ignites when it encounters sparks.

Drinking the strongest wine and fighting the most difficult battles is the pursuit of a warrior.

After Li Er finished drinking, he stuffed the bowl and the bamboo tube in his hand to Wang De, and some more, but he couldn't kill this gang before he found out, he had to take it back and taste it slowly, pointed to one person and said: "Huaidao, introduce some, this is An Guogong and the Captain of the Horse Commander, and he has the help of the people and horses of the headquarters." ”

"An Guogong, you are polite!" Qin Huaidao saluted.

"Don't dare, you are the main general, and I will listen to your command below." Obsessively said.

Qin Huaidao heard that the other party was a little dissatisfied, thinking about it, in terms of qualifications and experience in leading troops, he is longer than himself, and he is a famous general in his father's area, not to mention that he is a clansman, once the command is improper, it is his own people who die, who wants to give command to a person who has never even been on the battlefield?

There is such a thing as ability, not to talk about it, you have to go to the battlefield to test it with real knives and guns, but the command must be in hand, Qin Huaidao said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter who is the master and who assists, it is finally time to complete the task and return victoriously, however, there can only be one voice on the battlefield, even if the official is wrong, please ask An Guogong to carry it out, and afterwards you can cut off the official's head to atone for the soldiers, and the official has nothing to say." ”

"That's what you said?"

"Of course, the Holy One is also there, and he can witness it."

"Okay, in that case, Ben will be absolutely obedient, if you don't obey, please cut off Ben General's head." Stubbornness said solemnly.

Qin Huaidao was stunned, he was still a true man, he had a good temperament, this kind of person was easy to deal with, as long as he was treated sincerely, everything was not a problem, and he immediately smiled.

Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and others were also relieved to see that Qin Huaidao and Zhi Zhi Sili had reached a tacit understanding, although this kind of gambling method is not advisable, but it is also the best way at present, and it is troublesome if there is discord between face and heart.

Li Er said with satisfaction: "I will testify to the words of the two of you, and I hope to cooperate sincerely and return with a great victory." ”

"Thank you!"

The two hurriedly said, immediately glanced at each other, nodded tacitly, and reached an agreement.

Qin Huaidao just needs to cooperate with his thinking power, and he breathed a sigh of relief, this command can be regarded as a temporary get, and when he is on the battlefield, it will be no problem to win a few battles, and he looked at Li Er.

Li Er said knowingly: "Everything is ready according to the plan, the change of defense documents has been given to Zhi Zhi's thinking power, and the supplies on the road are also properly arranged, and Yin Qinhuai, the Duke of Yiguo and the Supervision Mansion, listened to the seal." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Qin Huaidao was startled and hurriedly bowed down.

"I hereby promote Qin Huaidao to the general of Dingyuan, who is fully responsible for the affairs of the Khitan War, and gives you the right to make decisions and act cheaply." Li Er said solemnly.

General Dingyuan is a five-rank official, a military officer, Qin Huaidao didn't expect to be promoted again, and he jumped a level, and he didn't expect to give the spirit the right to make decisions and act cheaply, this right is great, which means that in the event of a major event, you don't need to send a letter back to Chang'an and other holy rulings, you can make your own decisions.

It means trust, but it also means anticipation.

Everyone didn't expect Li Er to give such a big right, they were all startled, seeing that Li Er's eyes were firm, they didn't dare to persuade again, they all looked at Qin Huaidao, their eyes became complicated.

They are all people who have come over, and they naturally know that after this battle, if they win, Datang will rise as a shining star, and Qin Huaidao will also become a benchmark and role model for young people.

Qin Huaidao was a little moved, this trust was too great, and said solemnly: "If you obey the order, you will live up to your holy hope!" ”

Wang De handed over two holy decrees, one was what Li Er said just now, and the other was the army's change of defense, asking for the full support of all departments along the way, Yunyun, Qin Huaidao glanced at it and put it away, and just about to say thanks, he heard Li Er shouting: "Bring my war horse here." ”

Soon, a war horse was brought over, covered in green black, strong and powerful limbs, also nailed to the horse's hooves, clear eyes, without a single miscellaneous hair on the body, at first glance extraordinary, Li Er Zhengse said: "This is a sweaty horse from the Western Regions, called White Hoof, one of my six horses, his mission should be on the battlefield, give it to you, just when I accompany you to fight, no matter what, come back alive." ”

The six horses are the six war horses that accompanied Li Shimin in his life, and they have made great achievements, one is Sa Lu Zi, the second is the fist hair (horse), the third is the green horse, the fourth is Shivachi, the fifth is the Telle Horse, and the sixth is the white hoof.

"Thank you!" Qin Huaidao was a little moved, sweat and blood BMW is not anyone who dares to scream, it is the purest horse breed, and the Arabian horse, the English horse is equally famous, it is very rare, the existence of traveling thousands of miles a day, it is priceless, and he looks at it curiously, the head is thin and the neck is high, the limbs are slender, the hooves are white, the skin is thin and hairy, and the pace is light, this kind of horse has great strength, fast speed, strong endurance, and is most suitable for the battlefield.

Stubborn thinking power looked a little envious, and the little bit of caution in his heart was quickly extinguished, the saint attaches so much importance to it, this kind of person has a bright future in the future, and it is best to make friends.

Everyone present is a human spirit, so they naturally understand Li Er's intentions, and the reward is not in front of so many people, it is more to help Qin Huaidao establish his authority and warn him of losing his thinking power, but it also shows that Qin Huaidao is in the emperor's heart, otherwise how could there be such an honor.

"I'll leave it to you." Li Er looked at Qin Huaidao, his eyes were eager, and he was looking forward to it.

Qin Huaidao nodded solemnly, and said to Zhi Zhi's lost thinking: "Gather troops." ”

Stubbornly nodded knowingly and cleaned up.

"Knock knock!"

The drums of war rang out, shaking the school yard as if they were about to shatter the cold wind.

"Herod!" Countless war horses came out of the camp and went straight to the wide school field, waving flags, hunting and hunting, in an orderly manner, no one shouted, and no one ran around.

"This is a strong army in a hundred battles." Qin Huaidao looked at this scene, and his blood boiled.

A moment later, three thousand Turkic cavalry gathered, followed by two thousand sword and shield bearers, led by Wei Chi Baoqi, followed by Li Yixie and Li Dejian, Li Yixie is Li Junxian's son, Li Dejian is Li Jing's eldest son, and this guy is close to Li Chengqian in memory.

Li Yixie understands well, although Li Junxian was dismissed, he will also think about finding a way for his son, after the general, the best way is to go to the battlefield, why did Li Dejian come? couldn't help but look at Li Jing.

Li Jing smiled without saying a word, shook his head slightly, and nodded again.

Qin Huaidao was a little enlightened, it seemed that Li Jing also saw that the crown prince Li Chengqian was unreliable, so he let his son take a new path, so he took this opportunity to arrange for him to come in.

In this way, almost half of the generals are all in the future, is this the rhythm of winning and making a fortune together? Aren't you afraid of losing? Qin Huaidao looked at Li Er in surprise.

Li Er said with a smile: "The descendants of several princes are here, do you feel that there is a lot of pressure on you?" Therefore, you can only win, and once you lose, you don't need to make a move, and they won't let you go. ”

"Okay, take it as a spur!" Qin Huaidao smiled bitterly.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be pressured, my son Fang Yiai will serve as your pro-military captain this time, you don't need to take special care, that kid has a bad brain, but he has a lot of strength, and he can't do any rough work." ”

"Fang Yiai?" Qin Huaidao was startled, looked up, and saw a team dressed as Yu Linwei rushing out of the camp and assembling, who was Fang Yiai at the head?

Qin Huaidao was a little confused, what are these old guys going to do? Aren't you afraid of being served in a pot? If something really happens, the consequences will be great, or do you think you can succeed, and you come over to follow the military merits?

At this time, Li Er smiled and said: "Huaidao, I discussed with several princes, and felt that no one around you was inappropriate, so I took out two hundred Yulin guards to guard your side, Fang Yiai and Li Yixie are both good in force, serving as the captain of this Yulin Guard, Li Dejian has studied the art of war with the pharmacist for many years, but lacks actual combat experience. ”

"Yes!" What else can Qin Huaidao say, he can only obey.

Fortunately, Fang Yiai has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and his combat effectiveness is not weaker than Luo Zhang, Li Dejian is Li Jing's son, and he is familiar with it, presumably he is not bad in the art of war and strategy, and he is only responsible for joining the army, that is, recording everyone's merits, handling some documents, and staffing some affairs, similar to staff officers in later generations.

Everyone is not afraid of death, Qin Huaidao is too lazy to say anything, and said to Zhi Zhili Sili: "An Guogong, see those items, the bamboo tube is filled with high alcohol, the essence of wine, and ointment, once someone is injured, you can use wine to wash the wound, apply the ointment, you can live, send it down, one bamboo tube per person, one pack of ointment." ”

"Useful?" Persistence is a little skeptical.

"What are you doing without Ben Jiang doing so much, but tens of thousands of pieces of silver have been wasted, don't you know Ben Jiang's medical skills?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically, since General Dingyuan has been sealed and he is the chief general of this operation, he can no longer call himself this official, and he has to be called this general instead.

I also heard that Qin Huaidao cured Princess Jinyang's qi disease, and it must be useful to spend tens of thousands of dollars to do this, otherwise who is willing to waste it, and I was a little moved in my heart, after all, on the battlefield, it was my own people who died, and solemnly hugged my fists and said: "More generals' love." ”

"See, from today onwards, we will be brothers in the trenches and living and dying."

"Okay, the general values it so much, don't dare to disobey it, thank you for your kindness!" Zhi Sili said gratefully, and ran to give the order.

Everyone could see that at this moment, they were convinced of Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao also saw it, and with some emotion, he said that a thousand ways and ten thousand yuan still worked, and said to Cheng Chumo behind him: "Trouble Brother Cheng to notify the sword and shield hand and Yu Linwei to come up and collect it, don't mess up." ”

"Obey!" In front of the saint and so many ministers of state, Cheng Chumo didn't dare to be too casual, so he hurriedly went.

"Good, good!"

"General Xie is loved!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers.

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was the Turkic army cheering, Li Er looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Huaidao, see it, they have already recognized you." ”

"Holy Lord, their minds are actually very simple, whoever is good to him and leads them to victory, they will recognize whomever they want, a little wine and medicine is just to gain favor, and it is still far from recognition."

"Hahaha, you can see through it, so I can rest assured." Li Er smiled with satisfaction.

Qin Huaidao looked at the soldiers who lined up and was sad, so many sons of the princes, it would be a big deal to die any of them, and this battle could not be lost, and he could not afford to lose.

But one way or another, the Khitan ...... Lao Tzu is here!
